This is an excellent manual in every respect. It is well written, with the owner-mechanic in mind, and the illustrations and diagrams are extremely clear and helpful. It provides detailed step by step instructions for testing components, which other manuals do not always give.
The only reason I do not give it 5 stars is that it only covers cars sold on the North American market. This means, for example, that it does not cover the L Jetronic fuel injection system fitted to many E28 BMWs sold in other markets (such as my own 1985 525i). For information on this system you will need to refer to either a specialist book on Bosch fuel injection systems, or the Haynes Manual covering all 3 & 5 series from 1983 to 1991 (Haynes manual 1948). If you own any E28 and can only afford one manual, the Bentley publication is far and away the best available. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-08-15 00:42:46 EST)

Well written manual is a "must have for the E28". Amazon's price on this can not be beat.

Compared to the Haynes, this book gives excellent photographs, warnings on appropriate procedures, tool and chemicals to make the job easier and a section on easy to build test equipment to help in diagnostics.
Coupled with BMW's Mobile Tradition CDROM covering illustrations and part numbers, this book will save the owner significant repair costs over a BMW dealership service department or after-market repair facility. This is a MUST OWN for anyone interested in becoming involved in simple maintenance or more complex tasks to reduce the cost of owning a great performing German automobile. Bentley Publishers excels over other reference print materials. (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-06-12 05:22:09 EST)

This is a great book. Well laid out with fabulous line drawings that actually let you understand the repair. Suitable even for relatively unskilled mechanics. Good tips and very easy to use. Contains more information than any other manual out there for these cars. I recommend it even if you never work on your car since it helps you understand it better and with its handy diagnostic tables will let you prediagnose problems and keep your mechanic honest. Buy it if you have an E28 5 series. It doesn't cover the M5 though.
